Unless the bonuses (plural) are both/all perfect and the weapon is max, salavage it.

The wand is pointless to keep; its not max and you can get req 9 collector wands with a better bonus.

Bah, ignore the advice above.

My advice would be to play as you want - if you prefer swords, then either sell the axe to a merchant or salvage it for crafting materials. If you want to try out axe's, that axe is "ok".. but it has really crummy mods on it..

As for the wand.. salvage it or sell to a merchant. Your a warrior :P Unless you also have an elementalist specalizing in fire magic, then pass the wand onto that character. Otherwise get rid of it - it's actually not that bad a wand for the level you are.

I'd advise against advice that state "unless it's perfect and max damage then it's not worth considering" at least untill you have played through the game once and are going through with your second/third/etc character. You'll find drops and craftable weapons and collector's weapon's as you play that match the area your in.. you do NOT need perfect mods and/or max damage weapons right from the start to succeed. anyone who tells you otherwise is just trying to scam you out of money.

I'd EXPERT salvage the axe, you may get one of the Mods. They're not perfect, but they can probably be sold for more than you can get from a vendor. If you get the health mod, You can sell it for at least 500g. (or save it for a max damage axe that'll come along later on.)
